---------- Inspiration For the Week---"He that watereth shall be watered
also himself.” Proverbs 11:25

We are here taught the great lesson, that to get, we must give; that to accumulate,
we must scatter; that to make ourselves happy, we must make others happy;
and that in order to become spiritually vigorous, we must seek the spiritual
good of others. In watering others, we are ourselves watered.
How? Our efforts to be useful, bring out our powers for usefulness. We have
latent talents and dormant faculties, which are brought to light by exercise.
Our strength for labour is hidden even from ourselves, until we venture forth
to fight the Lord’s battles, or to climb the mountains of difficulty.
We do not know what tender sympathies we possess until we try to dry the widow’s
tears, and soothe the orphan’s grief.

We often find in attempting to teach others, that we gain instruction for
ourselves. Oh, what gracious lessons some of us have learned at sick beds!
We went to teach the Scriptures, we came away blushing that we knew so little
of them. In our converse with poor saints, we are taught the way of God more
perfectly for ourselves and get a deeper insight into divine truth. So that
watering others makes us humble. We discover how much grace there is where
we had not looked for it; and how much the poor saint may outstrip us in knowledge.
Our own comfort is also increased by our working for others. We endeavour
to cheer them, and the consolation gladdens our own heart. Like the two men
in the snow; one chafed the other’s limbs to keep him from dying, and
in so doing kept his own blood in circulation, and saved his own life. The
poor widow of Sarepta gave from her scanty store a supply for the prophet’s
wants, and from that day she never again knew what want was. Give then, and
it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, and running over."
[C.H. Spurgeon, "Morning
and Evening Devotions; Emphasis added]

--------Focus:
Key Doctrinal Truth----------"Christian Epistemology"

EPISTEMOLOGY: The theory of science of the nature, grounds, and method of
knowledge. It seeks to answer questions about the nature of knowledge and
the means by which it is acquired. Despite the large number of schools of
philosophy, epistemology breaks down into two categories, one consistently
Christian (theistic) and the other basically anti theistic.

Christian Epistemology: A consistently Christian epistemology
recognizes the ontological Trinity as the ultimate starting point of all knowledge.
It sees all the universe as God's creation and holds that no fact of creation
can be properly described without reference to God the Creator. In other words,
every fact must be recognized as a created fact, or it cannot be properly
recognized at all.

Thus, man's thinking cannot be truly creative, but analogical (see Analogy).
If he is to speak truly, man must say what God has already said. The triune
God Who has given us the Bible as His infallible revelation must be the ultimate
starting point of all our knowledge. That is not to say that the Bible must
become our source book for the study of, say, biochemistry or physics, but
it is to say that all investigation into these and all other subjects must
be interpreted in the light of the Bible. [Alan Cairns, "Dictionary
of Theological Terms", p. 147, Emphasis added]

"Jesus The Outlaw: Wanted, Dead or Alive"
-- Few people think of the precious Son of God as an "outlaw"; yet,
that is exactly what Jesus was because He lived in a land whose laws and customs
had so changed from God's original plan. An "outlaw" is determined
by the prevailing laws and customs of the day; when the religious views change,
the concept of who is an "outlaw" is also changes. Jesus was an
outlaw because Israel had drifted so very far from God's original plan.
Today, our society has also drifted, so that genuine Christians will one day
be considered "outlaws".

The concepts within this book are excellent and should lead the reader into
a deeper walk with the Savior, as well as to properly prepare your heart,
soul, and mind for the difficulties lying directly ahead of us all. Hardcover,

"The Life of Abraham"
- F.B. Meyer - Bible Character Series - In the gray dawn
of history, the first great Biblical character capturing our attention is
Abraham. He commands our attention as one who was great through his faith.
And that faith was at first but a silver thread, an insignificant straw --
not stronger than that which trembles in the humblest and weakest believer
today Sketching every period of Abraham's life, F.B. Meyer shows that, wherever
faith operates in the life of a believer, it is linked with Omnipotence. Genuine
Faith is the channel for Divine Communications. As faith is used according
to the promptings of the Divine Spirit, in obedience to Biblical commands,
God will cause that faith to grow and strengthen. Abraham experienced this
growth in his faith, making him the "Friend of God". And it will
grow in us. - hhttp://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=871

"The Life of David"
- F.B. Meyer - Bible Character Series - The life of David will remain
supremely important and fascinating as long as time remains. As the sweet
Psalmist of Israel, the ancestor of Jesus Christ, and the founder of a dynasty
of kings, David will always elicit our highest affections and command our
deepest respect. While sketching every period of David's life, F.B. Meyer
has concentrated this book upon those sections of Scripture which trace the
steps by which the shepherd boy became the mighty King of Israel. Learning
these early steps, readers will discover the keys to becoming "a man
after God's own heart". - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=872

*
"The Life of Joseph" - F.B.
Meyer - Bible Character Series - The life of Joseph is the beautifully
exquisite story of one man who, though deeply wronged, rose from the darkest
pits to the position of Vice-Regal power. His life holds a special charm,
not only for its intrinsic beauty but also because of its vivid foreshadowing
of the life of Jesus Christ. Some scenes in Joseph's life that provide a stunning
rehearsal of the greatest drama ever enacted among men -- the drama of Jesus'
life, death, burial, and resurrection. - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=873

*
"The Life of Moses"
- F.B. Meyer - BibleCharacter Series - The remarkable
life of Moses towers before us like a colossal statue hewn in stone. But a
closer study shows that, even though he possessed outstanding leadership qualities,
the marvelous outcome of his lifework was not because he had these qualities,
but because of his wonderful spiritual faith in the Living God. This faith
knit his soul to God, allowing him to do works which would have been impossible
without God pouring His power through Moses' faith. F.B. Meyer masterfully
presents Moses as a man whose character took years to form and whose life
literally became a channel through which God's Divine plan was fulfilled.
By following in Moses' steps, any believer today can become the "servant
of God". - http://www.cuttingedge.org/detail.cfm?ID=876

*
"The Life of Paul"
- F.B. Meyer - Bible Character Series - The life of the Apostle Paul stands
as a colossal figure upon Biblical history, whose stamp has left an indelible,
eternal mark upon the Church, and upon the life of every believer. Who but
God can number the myriads of souls who have come into contact with Paul's
Holy Spirit-inspired words, only to become living epistles in their own life?
Painting a thoroughly Biblical portrait, F.B. Meyer challenges believers to
know and to love the apostle to the Gentiles, thereby personally experiencing
the love which animated Paul's life, plus the Divine strength which transformed
Paul. Declaring that the transforming power God poured through Paul's heart
is a model of what He desires in the heart of every Christian, Meyer's teaching
will strengthen your heart, bringing hope to all who genuinely believe. -

"The Life of Peter"-
F.B. Meyer - Bible Character Series - The life of Peter comes closer to us
than any of his fellow apostles. Drawn from the ranks of ordinary fishermen
in an obscure village on the Lake of Galilee, Peter is so human, so much like
one of us in his weaknesses. Strong, fiery, impulsive and self-assertive,
Peter could be consumed with passion one moment, then cold as the snows of
Lebanon the next. Only the Savior could discover the apostle in Simon Peter,
and His patience drew out the latent qualities of Peter's character. If the
Master could do so much for the flawed Peter, what might He do in our lives?

I.
No sooner had Hurricane Frances slogged ashore on the southeastern shore of
Florida than reports of a really monstrous hurricane dubbed "Ivan The
Terrible" reached our ears. Ivan has the potential to really devastate
Florida. Let us examine pertinent news stories:

A. Frances leaves Florida reeling in chaos, even though her winds
weakened considerably and even though she was quickly degraded into a Tropical
Storm. Watch closely as we see the significant types of damage Frances
did to this state

"Weakened after its long rampage through Florida ... Hurricane Frances
moved into the Gulf of Mexico early yesterday, leaving chaos in its wake.
Storm-weary Floridians emerged from hurricane shelters as Tropical Storm Frances
moved off the state's west coast after whipping off roofs, washing sailboats
ashore and cutting power to nearly 6 million people. Frances virtually shut
down the fourth-largest US state, home to 16 million people, for two days
and promised damage not just to buildings but to the state's $53 billion tourism
industry on the usually busy Labor Day holiday weekend ... The human toll,
in lost housing and livelihoods, will also be great ... The $9.1 billion citrus
industry, hard hit by Hurricane Charley last month, was likely to take another
blow as the storm moved across the state's best growing regions as a hurricane."

Florida is really taking a hit from these hurricanes; some estimates of losses
-- both insured and uninsured -- from Bonnie, Charley, and Frances -- are
in the realm of $20 billion. If Hurricane Ivan hits Florida as a Category
5, with sustained winds of 160mph, these total losses could more than double.
Further, the state's precious citrus industry is in real danger of being devastated;
note the revelation that these storms have " moved across the state's
best growing regions". And, now here comes Ivan, dubbed "Ivan The
Terrible"

"ST. GEORGE'S, Grenada - Hurricane Ivan took aim Thursday at Jamaica
and possibly Florida after killing 23 people in five countries and devastating
Grenada ... Ivan, the deadliest hurricane to hit the Caribbean in a decade,
pummeled Grenada, Barbados and other southern islands on Tuesday ... was still
expected to pound Jamaica, where officials urged a half-million people to
evacuate coastal and flood-prone areas ... U.S. officials ordered people to
evacuate the Florida Keys after forecasters said the storm - the fourth major
hurricane of a busy Atlantic season - could hit the island chain by Sunday
... The storm left its worse damage in Grenada where from the air it appeared
that nearly every house had been ripped up ... of this country of 100,000
people..."

We heard radio reports that Ivan was tearing down structures specifically
built to withstand Category 5 hurricanes, so this storm packs the potential
for a tremendous amount of damage. Further, since the storm has shifted course
ever so slightly in the past 24 hours - NOAA
Storm Track -- it now appears that the eye of the storm will
not pass over any significant portion of Cuba, thus lessening the chance that
it will weaken as it passes over land.

We posted the Hurricane card of the Illuminati Card Game at the top of this
story, because we are convinced that these hurricanes are being used and steered
in such a manner as to cause many citizens to flee the state and to increase
Federal and State control over many aspects of Florida's economy and cultural
fabric. If the devastation from Ivan is truly catastrophic, you might even
see Martial Law declared and FEMA exercising control over at least a portion
of the state. Such an increase in control is certainly necessary if the Illuminati
is to ever implement their draconian "Re-Wilding" plan as spelled
out in the U.N. Biodiversity program If you have not yet read of this program,
or of the reality that scientists today can and do control storms like hurricanes,
please take a moment to read the articles in our Weather
Control and Weather Warfare Section.

We also would recommend you read the U.S. Air Force document in which they
"forecast" that they will own the weather and be able to use it
as a weapon against an enemy by 2025. This report is entitled, "Weather
as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025". This
program research paper was written in 1996, and it proves the intention of
the U.S. military to so completely control the weather by 2025 that they will
have a military edge over every potential enemy. However, remember what I
learned while serving in the U.S. Army Intelligence: whenever our government
admitted they were working on a super-secret project, or were about to achieve
a new capability, the reality was that they had already possessed that technology
for at least 10 years and quite possibly 20 years.

Once you understand this fact, you shall be able to understand why the United
Nations passed a treaty in October, 1978, which prohibited nations from using
Weather Modification techniques as weapons against other nations! The technology
to create massive storms, rain in selected locations, droughts, and earthquakes
was so far advanced in 1978 that the United Nations passed a treaty forbidding
such weather modifications.

What is the objective of creating and steering these hurricanes? We explain
the answer in NEWS1953. We
also provide a detailed colored map created by the United Nations showing
that about 66% of the entire country is planned to be set aside for little
or no human habitation. The ultimate hurricane might just be planned and perhaps
is not too far off. With my understanding of the reality of Weather Control
and Weather Warfare, I never considered the massive storm described in the
book, "The Coming Global Superstorm" (upon which the movie, "The
Day After Tomorrow" was based) to be impossible. In fact, I firmly believe
that this type of storm is possible given the exceedingly high level of weather
expertise our scientists possess today. Just start noticing the number of
articles in which traditional weathermen are fooled by the weather. i.e.,
the weather they predicted did not come to pass.

The ultimate hurricane may be not too far away. If this massive storm which
wipes out a huge section of this country follows the "Day After Tomorrow"
scenario, the early warning signs may be exceedingly cold levels noted within
the storm and at various points throughout the world. If you hear of any such
extremely cold weather, please let us know immediately.

As the world struggled to cope with the tremendous loss of life in the Russian
school tragedy, enough anomalies began to appear to bring the official story
into question. Where have we heard of this before?

By now, everyone should know that terrorists officially identified as "Chechen
Muslim Militants" invaded a public school at 9am local time on September
1, to take it over. Some attackers were reportedly wearing suicide-bomb belts.
The number of hostages being held within the school varied widely, from 350
to over 1,000. The militants vowed that, if they were attacked, they would
kill 50 hostages for every single fatality among their fighters.

Officials of the Russian government attempted to mediate with the hostages,
trying to secure the release of at least some of the victims. Shortly after
1pm, September 3, a large explosion was heard; immediately, Russian military
commandos invaded the school grounds to neutralize the Islamic militants and
secure the safe release of as many victims as possible.

The moment the Russian commandos began their assault, the militant fighters
began to shoot victims at will, killing many of them with shots in the back.
Pre-set explosives ripped through various parts of the school. By the time
the carnage stopped, 335 victims had been killed, including 156 children.

This horrific slaughter galvanized both the Putin government and the Russian
citizen. Immediately, Russian officials determined that Chechen Islamic Fundamentalists
were at fault and that drastic measures were needed. Numerous Mass Media outlets
immediately began calling this event "Putin's 9/11", a curious designation
because the same media was calling the twin aircraft sabotage of a few days
earlier a "Russian 9/11". Oh, yes, for good measure, an official
Russian source stated that Al Qaeda was behind this public school attack.

However, some interesting stories began to appear. We shall share some of
them with you now, and will be issuing a major article next week.

"Not a single Chechen has been found among the dead gunmen who took
children hostage in Beslan last week, Sergei Ivanov, Russia's defence minister,
told the Guardian yesterday. 'About half of the 32 terrorists have been identified
and we have not yet discovered anyone from Chechnya', he said ... The defence
minister's remarks came as other statements from prosecutors carried on Russian
television pinned the blame for the raid firmly on the Chechen rebel commander
Shamil Basayev ..."

Now, isn't this interesting? After other officials had clearly implicated
the Chechen rebels in this attack, this Defense Minister stated that not one
fighter discovered thus far was actually from Chechnya. While the author of
this article speculated that the Defense Minister had made this statement
in order to deflect criticism that this attack was the result of Russia's
policies in Chechnya, the rest of this article determinedly pursued the official
storyline that Russian government had originally held that the fighters were
Chechen militant Muslims.

A spokesman for the Maskhadov Chechen separatists clearly laid the blame
squarely on the shoulders of the Russian government. Listen:

" 'The claims of President Maskhadov's involvement in the terrorist
act are part of a well thought-out disinformation campaign, which also includes
officials' statements about the presence of Arab and African fighters and
foreign mercenaries among the terrorists', he said in a statement faxed to
media." [Ibid.]

Then, the Chechens themselves dropped a bombshell, one that sounded a lot
like the situation surrounding the 9/11 attacks.

"Akhmed Zakayev, a special envoy to Chechen separatist leader Aslan
Maskhadov has said that 'a third force that brought Russian President Vladimir
Putin to power' is behind all the terrorist attacks committed in Russia over
the past two weeks ... Chechen resistance forces led by Ichkeria President
Aslan Maskhadov have nothing to do with the hostage crisis in North Ossetia
... Zakayev believes that the twin aircraft crash last week, the blast near
Rizhskaya metro station on 31 August and today’s events in North Ossetia
are links in the same chain and that 'the same power that wants to destabilize
the situation in the North Caucasus region' is behind them."

What "Third Force" which brought Putin to power is this Chechen
spokesman speaking of? We know that the Illuminati ensured that Putin would
come to power, so is Akhmed Zakayev saying that the Illuminati is behind this
outrageous public school disaster? Given the many media statements that these
terrorist attacks constituted Russia's "9/11", this allegation from
the Chechen separatist leader takes on greater meaning.

Certainly, Illuminist forces seeking to unify the world through the common
"threat" called Islam would benefit from the horror and revulsion
caused by this awful loss of innocent lives. Almost immediately, Putin declared
that these attacks were an "act of war" that would force him to
strengthen Russia's internal security. If this sounds like the rhetoric coming
from President Bush following 9/11, you would be absolutely correct.

III. Putin surprised everyone when he borrowed
a page from President Bush's anti-terror rule book. Listen:

"Russia is prepared to launch pre-emptive strikes on bases used for
training militants anywhere in the world, a senior general said Wednesday,
after a joint Russia-NATO meeting in Brussels denounced the latest spate of
attacks on Russian soil that killed well over 400 people. 'As for launching
pre-emptive strikes on terrorist bases, we will carry out all measures to
liquidate terrorist bases in any region of the world', General Yuri Baluevsky
was quoted by the Russian Information Agency Novosti as saying. 'However,
this does not mean that we will launch nuclear strikes'.”

This is hot, surprising news, indeed! President Bush launched his invasion
of Iraq because he had announced the year before his new doctrine of "Pre-Emptive
Strikes" against terrorism wherever it was found throughout the world.
Bush proceeded to further explain America's need to preemptively strike at
terrorist nations and/or groups by saying that 9/11 had demonstrated the necessity
of striking militant terrorist groups or nations who were about to launch
another terrorist strike on us.

At the time, we strongly protested, saying that our intelligence had to be
flawlessly accurate for such a preemptive strike policy to work. Were our
intelligence services ever wrong in their assessment, we would have launched
a strike for no reason, punishing people innocent of the charges against them.
Of course, this scenario is exactly what occurred when we invaded Iraq, is
it not? Even President Bush has recently been forced to admit that we have
not been able to discover any Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), even though
we have controlled Iraq for 17 months now.

Has this embarrassing reality forced President Bush and his ministers into
rethinking their preemptive strike policy? By no means! In the past month,
our officials have been issuing dire warnings about Iran's supposed nuclear
development program, using much the same rhetoric employed against Saddam
and his nonexistent WMD. Now, Russia has just declared that she has the right
to preemptively strike terrorists anywhere in the world they find them, using
all weapons at their disposal except nuclear weapons. What makes this so terribly
ironic is that Russia led the fight against Bush's invasion of Iraq, an invasion
totally based upon our President's own flawed preemptive strike policy.

We shall cover these elements, plus many others, in our major article due
out next week. You will probably conclude that these terrible atrocities in
Russia were, indeed, carried out by the same global forces which carried out
our 9/11 attacks.

IV. Before the outrage of Russian citizens
and of reasonable citizens the world over had died down, a Muslim cleric issued
a statement which further enraged Westerners the world over.
The dreaded "Clash of Civilizations" might just have gotten a little
closer.

"An extremist Islamic cleric based in Britain said yesterday that he
would support hostage-taking at British schools if carried out by terrorists
with a just cause. Omar Bakri Mohammed, the spiritual leader of the extremist
sect al-Muhajiroun, said that holding women and children hostage would be
a reasonable course of action for a Muslim who has suffered under British
rule. In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Mohammed said: 'If an
Iraqi Muslim carried out an attack like that in Britain, it would be justified
because Britain has carried out acts of terrorism in Iraq'."

"As long as the Iraqi did not deliberately kill women and children,
and they were killed in the crossfire, that would be okay."

For almost two years, Cutting Edge has been urgently warning that our policies
in Afghanistan and Iraq are deliberately designed to spark an all-out global
conflict between Islamic and Western forces. This strategy of deliberate incitement
to war is called, "Blood
In The Streets". You see, even though Muslims throughout
the world seem prone to outbursts of extreme anger bordering on "rage"
-- Palestinian Muslims have repeatedly declared entire days as "Days
of Rage" -- their armed forces are totally ill prepared to take on Western
military forces. In fact, such a conflict would result in unbelievable carnage
in the Muslim forces with very little loss amongst Western forces. Key moderate
and militant Muslim leaders understand this fact quite well, which is why
they are going to such lengths to avoid a set-piece standard battle with our
forces. Guerilla warfare and asymmetric warfare is the preferred tactic.

However, there probably is a line in the minds of both Muslims and Westerners
that, once crossed, will result in all-out global warfare. This carnage in
Russian public schools may very well push this conflict closer to reality,
possibly setting up a final disastrous action guaranteed to start a war, i.e.,
the deliberate destruction of a key Muslim mosque, like the Dome
of the Rock in Israel. When that Muslim temple goes down, the
entire world will be engulfed in the flames of World War III.

We have written much about this "Blood
In The Streets" strategy. Once you understand this strategy,
you will better understand many of our actions in Iraq, especially the torture
and sexual humiliation scandal unfolding in American military courts right
now.

To read our five articles on the "Blood In The Streets",
just click on the title, above. Your understanding of what is occurring in
the Middle East and in our military court system will be greatly enhanced.

In our newsletters for the last two weeks, we reported that the deal by which
"peace" was achieved in Falluja and Najaf in effect handed over
control of these cities to a combination of a very weak Iraqi police and a
very strong Iraqi insurgency. The same situation seems to be occurring in
Samarra. The net result is that American forces are not allowed in these two
significant cities. We postulated then that, if this trend continues, American
forces might lose control of all Iraq except for the major roads.

Defense Secretary Rumsfeld confirmed this analysis last week. The very fact
that he used the word, "retake" was both shocking and informative.

"WASHINGTON -- Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday he
is confident the interim Iraqi government will find a way to retake cities
now in the hands of insurgents ... Rumsfeld said the war in Iraq has not created
more terrorists there, but he also cautioned that the country needs a more
capable security force of its own to eventually defeat the insurgents. He
said interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi understands the threat from continued
instability.

" 'The prime minister and his team fully understand that it is important
that there not to be areas in that country that are controlled by terrorists',
he said. Later he added, 'For their country to succeed, they simply cannot
over a sustained period of time have areas that are under the control of people
who are violently opposed to that government'. He was referring to major cities
like Falluja and Samarra, where neither U.S. forces nor the Iraqi government
are in control."

Did you catch the key statements in this article?

"Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday
he is confident the interim Iraqi government will find a way to retake cities
now in the hands of insurgents .. He was referring to major cities like Fallujah
and Samarra, where neither U.S. forces nor the Iraqi government are in control."

Thank you, Secretary Rumsfeld, for confirming our analysis of the sorry situation
facing our troops today. I remember well when the Army Chief of Staff lost
his position the day after he boldly informed a Congressional panel that he
needed twice as many troops committed to Iraq than what Rumsfeld was willing
to authorize. Now, we are seeing the effects of having one-half the number
of troops required for this guerilla war. The greatest, most sophisticated
army in the world is tied down in a guerilla war it cannot lose, but cannot
win. While our troops are dying of Depleted
Uranium poisoning just by fighting the insurgents and breathing
the air, we are gradually losing the war for the cities. We no longer control
Fallujah, Samarra, and Najaf -- according to Defense Secretary Rumsfeld!

Now, I ask Secretary Rumsfeld an extremely pertinent question: if our powerful
military forces cannot take control of a city against insurgent forces, what
chance in the world does a rag-tag Iraqi national force have, whose ability
to fight has never been tested, and whose ranks are full of men who are anti-American
in their inner of heart of hearts?

Iraq has just assumed another parallel with Vietnam!

VI. American military deaths not only officially
surpassed 1,000, but last week was terribly bloody.

"BAGHDAD, Sept. 4 -- About 1,100 U.S. soldiers and Marines were wounded
in Iraq during August, by far the highest combat injury toll for any month
since the war began and an indication of the intensity of battles flaring
in urban areas ... U.S. units frequently faced combat in a sprawling Shiite
Muslim slum in Baghdad and in the Sunni cities of Fallujah, Ramadi and Samarra,
all of which remain under the control of insurgents two months after the transfer
of political authority. 'They were doing battlefield urban operations in four
places at one time," said Lt. Col. Albert Maas, operations officer for
the 2nd Medical Brigade, which oversees U.S. combat hospitals in Iraq. 'It's
like working in downtown Detroit. You're going literally building to building'."

For the first time, insurgents are fighting in multiple areas in which a
great deal of our military edge is eroded, i.e., in urban settings.

NEWS BRIEF: "Nine US soldiers killed in Iraq: Seven marines killed in
car bomb attack near Fallujah, two US soldiers killed in mortar attack near
Baghdad", Middle East News, September 6, 2004

"FALLUJAH, Iraq - Seven US marines and three Iraqi national guard were
killed and several wounded in a car bomb attack as they passed near the militant
Iraqi rebel enclave of Fallujah, the US military and witnesses said ... 'The
explosion killed seven marines who were assigned to First Marine Expeditionary
Force and three Iraqi national guard soldiers', the military said in a statement."

"In one of the worst days for the American forces in Iraq, six American
soldiers were killed and other injured in an ambush in the surrounding of
Faluja area. This came hours after the killing of two others as missiles were
fired on their base to the north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad. The American
soldiers who were on the board of armored vehicles were ambushed in al-Saqlaweyah
village in the northern quarters of Falluja and as a result 8 were injured
in addition to the 6 killed. News reports quoted a high ranking US official
as saying that the losses might be much greater."

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Four U.S. troops died in Iraq on Tuesday ...
Three of the soldiers who died Tuesday were killed in fighting in the Baghdad
neighborhood of Sadr City. A fourth soldier died of wounds suffered in a roadside
bombing Monday ... Two other deaths were reported by the military ...The Army
also reported that a soldier was killed Sunday when his tank hit a roadside
bomb in Khalidiya, north of Baghdad and a sailor from a Navy construction
battalion was killed Saturday ..."

NEWS BRIEF: "Marines Had More Deaths Than Army in August", The
State, September 8, 2004

"WASHINGTON - The Marines suffered more deaths in Iraq last month than
the Army, even though the Army had at least three times as many troops there,
Pentagon casualty records show. The trend has continued this month. Eleven
of the first 17 U.S. military deaths have been Marines, including seven who
perished Monday in a suicide car bombing near the city of Fallujah ... It
is difficult to pinpoint the reasons for the unusually high death toll for
the Marines because they limit details on the circumstances of battle deaths
to either "enemy action" or "non-combat related." The
Army specifies the type of weapon that caused the death as well as the city
where it happened ... The vast majority of Marine deaths in August - 24 of
the 33 total - were in the western province of Anbar, which includes the restive
cities of Fallujah and Ramadi as well as dangerous areas on the Syrian border
where Marines patrol to keep out foreign infiltrators and smugglers."

"Fallujah was the scene of devastating clashes last spring until the
Marines pulled out. Since then resistance fighters have deposed the city's
U.S.-backed leaders ..."

What is so terribly sad is that these Marines fighting against insurgents
in cities like Fallujah have likely died in vain. Our tactics are so flawed,
we literally agreed to a pact which allowed us to publicly claim victory while
allowing the insurgent forces to take control of the city. Another parallel
to Vietnam! Reading these current daily news reports is becoming similar to
reading news reports of our daily battles in Vietnam. In Vietnam, as in Iraq,
American soldiers were pinned down in asymmetrical warfare which largely eroded
our advantage in firepower, air support, and technology.

Over 58,000 American soldiers died for nothing in Vietnam. Interestingly,
more soldiers died under a Nixon Administration who promised to bring our
boys home according to a secret plan for withdrawal, than died under President
Lyndon Johnson. Democrat Presidential Candidate John Kerry is sounding a lot
like Nixon on the campaign trail.

VII.
I have a plan for withdrawing American forces from Iraq -- John Kerry

"CANONSBURG, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Democratic presidential nominee
John Kerry has called the invasion of Iraq 'the wrong war in the wrong place
at the wrong time' and said his goal was to withdraw U.S. troops in his first
White House term ... Kerry said Bush had failed on all three counts. He called
the president's talk about a coalition fighting alongside about 125,000 U.S.
troops 'the phoniest thing I've ever heard. You've about 500 troops here,
500 troops there and it's American troops that are 90 percent of the combat
casualties and it's American taxpayers that are paying 90 percent of the cost
of the war', he said. 'It's the wrong war, in the wrong place at the wrong
time'."

This statement contrasts sharply with President Lyndon Johnson's repeated
statement urging people to support his Vietnam War; he said that Vietnam was
the "right war at the right place at the right time against the right
enemy".

However, do not be deceived into thinking that a President Kerry would actually
carry out a plan much different than President Bush. He is a Skull & Bones
lifetime Adept just as is President Bush. He is committed to the same goals.
Listen to some more detail in this Reuters article.

"Kerry, like Bush, promised that the United States would stay the course
in Iraq until the country is secure, saying: 'We have to do what we need to
do to get out and do it righ't.He pledged to internationalize the forces in
Iraq and do a better job of fighting 'a more effective, smarter' war on terror
that he said would actually make Americans safer. Although he declined to
set a precise timetable for pulling out U.S. troops, Kerry said it would be
possible if certain conditions were met, such as bringing allies to the table
to help with security and reconstruction." [Ibid.]

These words are almost identical, word-for-word from the 1968 Nixon/Kissinger
promise to get Americans out of Vietnam quickly if elected; the truth actually
laid 180° in the opposite direction. President Nixon assumed the powers
of the Presidency on January 20, 1969, but American troops were not withdrawn
until March 29, 1973 [Lt. Colonel Daniel Marvin, "Expendable
Elite", p. 322]. In those four long years, the majority
of the 58,000 American troops who died in Vietnam were killed.

Historians will judge that President Nixon's pledge to get us out of Vietnam
was worthless, as bogus as a $3 bill. Henry Kissinger likewise has blood on
his hands for this entire affair, as he was the top Illuminist in the Nixon
Administration. Kissinger is the one who ensured that the globalist plan for
Vietnam was carried out precisely according to their plan. Did you know that
the Vietnam War lasted almost exactly 13 years? The war officially began in
January, 1960, when our first Special Forces teams were sent in, and it ended
March, 1973.

Do not expect anything different with a President Kerry.

VIII. Iraqi leaders this past week complained
loudly against the manner in which the American military is slaughtering Iraqi
civilians. This news story is surprising since these officials
hold their office only because American force put them there!

NEWS BRIEF: "Despair in Iraq over the forgotten victims of US invasion",
By Patrick Cockburn in Baghdad, Independent.co.uk, 09 September 2004

"Iraqi officials demanded to know yesterday why so little international
attention was being given to their numerous dead as the US mourned the death
of 1,000 soldiers ... 'When I heard on television that the Americans had lost
1,000 military killed in Iraq, I asked myself, what about our side? What is
the number of Iraqis who have died?' said Dr Amer al-Khuzaie, an Iraqi deputy
health minister ... He admits it is impossible to know the true figure because
many bodies are simply buried and the deaths never registered. 'Sometimes
there are as many as 200 Iraqis killed in a single day', sighed Dr Khuzaie
... 'The Iraqi people are being eradicated. We must stop this hemorrhage,
this bleeding'."

Did you catch the key sentence?

"The Iraqi people are being eradicated."

I carefully read this article to see if Dr Khuzaie mentioned Depleted Uranium
poisoning, which is responsible for the entire population being poisoned and
which will ultimately kill almost all Iraqi civilians, but D.U. was not mentioned.

Let us now review two more articles on this same subject: the killing of
Iraqi civilians.

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - While America mourns the deaths of more than 1,000
of its sons and daughters in the Iraq campaign, far more Iraqis have died
since the United States invaded in March 2003. No official, reliable figures
exist, but private estimates range from 10,000 to 30,000 killed across the
nation ... The violent deaths recorded in the clinic's leather ledger come
from only one of Iraq's 18 provinces and do not cover people who died in such
flashpoint cities as Najaf, Karbala, Fallujah, Tikrit and Ramadi. Iraqi dead
include not only insurgents, police and soldiers but also civilians caught
in crossfire, blown apart by explosives or shot by mistake - both by fellow
Iraqis or by American soldiers and their multinational allies ... In a country
where the dead are often buried quickly without proper accounting by authorities,
the real number of Iraqis whose lives were cut short in the Iraq conflict
may never be known ... Hazem al-Radini at the Human Rights Organization in
Iraq said his group estimates the toll at more than 30,000 civilian deaths."

When we deposed Saddam Hussein and tore his statute down, we proclaimed to
the world our goal of stabilizing Iraq and instituting "democracy",
but the reality is once again 180° in the opposite direction. Since Saddam
has been overthrown, our military has routinely killed untold numbers of civilians,
deliberately.

Speaking of D.U. poisoning, let us turn now to an open letter written by
an American Iraqi citizen now living in Arizona, as she laments the loss of
her personal friend in Iraq from cancer caused by depleted uranium poisoning.
Listen carefully.

"My friend Nuha Al Radi died yesterday due to complications from leukemia.
An Iraqi national educated in the U.K., she lived between Iraq and Lebanon.
Nuha's end was set into motion the day President George H. Bush (Senior) declared
war on Iraq during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Thanks to him, a generation
of Iraqi citizens lost their lives, starting with his bombs and ending with
his sanctions. Along the way, Bill Clinton took the sanctions baton and flippantly
added a bombing raid or two, killing many more innocent Iraqis, before passing
it on to George W. Bush, who is now finishing off his father's cruel legacy."

"The U.S., once again, has taken its big, abusive fist and planted it
into the pit of my stomach and this time I am an American citizen ... Nuha
was an accomplished artist and author. Her book, 'Baghdad Diaries', now stares
down at me from my bookshelf ... Nuha was killed by America's bombs dumped
on Iraq during the first Gulf War. She was not directly injured upon their
impact. Instead, she has become an untallied victim of their carcinogenic
aftermath, joining thousands of others who have suffered silently under the
thick coat of deceptions about 'smart bombs' and 'limiting collateral damage.'
As though foreseeing her own fate, Nuha makes reference throughout her book
to the rampant grave illnesses that afflicted Iraq's citizens following Desert
Storm."

"Everyone seems to be dying of cancer. Every day one hears about another
acquaintance or friend of a friend dying. How many more die in hospitals that
one does not know? Apparently, over thirty percent of Iraqis have cancer,
and there are lots of kids with leukemia ... The depleted uranium left by
the U.S. bombing campaign has turned Iraq into a cancer-infested country.
For hundreds of years to come, the effects of the uranium will continue to
wreak havoc on Iraq and its surrounding areas."

In case you think that Nuha is exaggerating, please take a moment to view
the video clip created by Democrat Congressman Dennis Kucinich
during his primary campaign for President. Be sure to click to see the pictures
of the babies we are killing in Iraq.

Truly, our Depleted Uranium poisoning is killing the entire land of Iraq
and its people. Instead of our invasion making it possible for Antichrist
to rebuild Ancient Babylon to use as his capital city, our D.U. poisoning
is completely fulfilling Isaiah 13.

"The Lord of hosts is mustering
the host for the battle. They come from a distant country, from the uttermost
part of the heavens ... even the Lord and the weapons of His indignation
-- to seize and destroy the whole land." [verses
4-5; Parallel
Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]

The word, "destroy", in the original Hebrew is "Cheval",
which literally means to "ruin, destroy". Our Depleted Uranium
poisoning has destroyed the entire land of Iraq. Prophecy of Isaiah 13 is
fulfilled and Ancient Babylon will never again be rebuilt to her former
glory , just as verses 19-20 foretold 2,500 years ago!

God is so good, so powerful, that all His prophecies will be literally
fulfilled!

IX. As both parties head into the Fall Presidential
Campaign, President Bush began to subtly use his "powers of Incumbency"
against John Kerry. What is the "power of Incumbency"?
This term refers to an incumbent officeholder using the power Constitutionally
given him against his opponent. For example, were Coalition Forces to gain
a smashing victory in Iraq just before the election, the people might be persuaded
that the President's policies might work after all if given enough time. Similarly,
since everyone knows the American citizenry will rally behind their President
during times of a national emergency, the incumbent President running for
re-election might just see to it that some sort of harmless "emergency"
might occur just before an election that would rally the voters around him.

If this staged event occurs in the month of October in an election year,
it is commonly referred to as an "October Surprise".

Let us now examine some instances in which the President seems to be using
his "power of Incumbency" in his election campaign.

"KUWAIT - Iraq's toppled leader Saddam Hussein and his top aides will
go on trial within weeks, Iraqi minister of state Kasim Daoud said on Sunday.
'Saddam Hussein and his band will stand trials within a period of weeks',
Daoud told a news conference in Kuwait City after talks with top officials.
He said he was referring to the US list of the 55 most wanted members of Saddam's
administration, most of whom are either in custody or have been killed."

Can you see how popular a public trial of Saddam Hussein might make President
Bush, especially at election time. American forces have held "Saddam"
for nearly one year, but delayed his trial until just before the election?
How convenient! His trial would provide daily, free publicity of a man whom
we have been taught to hate. President Bush would receive a huge jolt upward
in the polls; this is the power of incumbency.

NEWS BRIEF: "Recent clues can lead to arrest of Osama: US officials",
By Arshad Sharif, Dawn the Internet Edition, 04 September 2004

"ISLAMABAD, Sept 3: US counter-terrorism officials believe that the
recent spate of Al Qaeda arrests in Pakistan have provided significant clues,
which could lead to "guaranteed" arrest of Osama bin Laden and his
other top associates ... In reply to a question about Osama bin Laden, Mr
Black said "success against people that you know about, Osama bin Laden
and others, could happen tomorrow, could happen day after, a week from now,
or a month from now. The thing is everything is in place. A little bit is
needed to localise these people and to catch them."

Another amazing incident! After "looking" for Osama bin Laden for
3 years, we are now going to catch him just before Americans trek to the polls.
President Bush's popularity would positively skyrocket should we capture Saddam
AND Osama! The "power of Incumbency" can be a powerful force in
the re-election of a President.

"Ohio: In a fresh blow to John Kerry's flagging presidential campaign,
the Pentagon has ordered an official investigation into the awards of the
Democratic senator's five Vietnam War decorations ... The highly unusual inquiry
is to be carried out by the inspector-general's office of the US navy, for
which Sen Kerry served as a Swift Boat captain for four months in 1968, making
two tours of duty ... He was wounded in action and subsequently awarded three
Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star. But for the past month, the
exact details of Kerry's military service in Vietnam have become shrouded
in a controversy that the navy has now decided warrants a full-blown search
for the truth."

This news story captures the truth, when it reports that this type of investigation
in the midst of a Presidential election is a "highly unusual inquiry".
Why not unleash the Pentagon dogs on John Kerry? Most American citizens probably
think of the Pentagon as an objective organization, not realizing each officer
and each civilian depends directly upon President Bush for continuance of
their jobs. Therefore, you can count on this type of "highly unusual
inquiry" to be a hatchet job on John Kerry.

The "power of Incumbency" is a fearsome weapon during a campaign,
and it seems that President Bush is unleashing it upon Kerry.

---------Conclusion----------------"Christless
Christianity" - Part 1

For those who want a rule by which they can test everything ... I make available
here a little secret by which I have tested my own spiritual experiences and
religious impulses for many years. Briefly stated, the test is this: This
new doctrine, this new religious habit, this new view of truth, this new spiritual
experience -- how has it affected my attitude toward, and my relation to,
God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Scriptures, self, other Christians, the world,
and sin. By this sevenfold test, we may prove anything religious.

1) One vital test of all religious experience is how it affects our relation
to God ... Any doctrine, any experience that serves to magnify Him, is likely
to be inspired by Him .... Many enjoyable feelings may be aroused within the
soul by low or even idolatrous worship. The nun who kneels "breathless
with adoration" before an image of the Virgin is having a genuine religious
experience. She feels love, awe, and reverence -- all enjoyable emotions --
as certainly as if she were adoring God. The mystical experiences of Hindus
and Sufis cannot be brushed aside as mere pretence ... These and other encounters
and sometimes do have genuine encounters with someone beyond themselves. In
the same manner, Christians are sometimes led into emotional experiences that
are beyond their power to comprehend. I have met such people and they have
inquired eagerly whether or not their experience was of God. The big test
is: What has this done to my relationship to the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ? (Rev 4:11)

2) The next test is: How has this new experience affected my attitude toward
the Lord Jesus Christ? Whatever place present-day religion may give to Christ,
God places Him top place in Heaven and Earth. He must stand at the center
of all true doctrine, all acceptable practice and all genuine Christian experience.
Christless Christianity sounds contradictory, but
it exists as a real phenomenon in our day.

Again, there are psychic experiences that thrill the seeker and lead him
to believe that he has, indeed, met the Lord, and been carried to the Third
Heaven; but the true nature of the phenomenon is discovered later when the
face of Christ begins to fade from the victim's consciousness. If, on the
other hand, the new experience tends to make Jesus Christ indispensable, if
it takes our interest off our feelings and places it in Christ, we are on
the right track. Whatever makes Christ dear to us is pretty sure to be from
God (Matt. 3:17; Acts 2:36, 4:12; John 14:6) [A.W. Tozer, "Gems
From Tozer", p. 59-60]
